IB Curriculum International Schools in Sofia, Bulgaria

Sofia has a compact but established IB school sector: several schools in the city are authorised to deliver one or more IB programmes and a minority operate the full PYP - MYP - DP continuum, so families can often find a continuous IB pathway from early years through pre-university. English is the dominant language of instruction in IB schools, with Bulgarian commonly offered as a mother-tongue or additional language and other modern languages such as French and Spanish available in many schools. Annual fees vary across the market - lower-cost bilingual or national private schools typically sit in the lower thousands of euros while fully fledged English-medium IB schools more commonly charge several thousand to over twenty thousand euros a year, so compare what each fee covers (transport, meals, exams and extra-curriculars). Admissions tend to be rolling but competitive for popular year groups; most relocating families aim to start enquiries and submit applications several months before a September start and to check each school’s entry assessment and English-support arrangements first.
